- A visual playthrough from the table
Sitting at the table, cards laid out, about to walk into a western standoff.
Can I handle it? As the leader of the Bandits, I have to!
My friend, on the other hand, opted to play the Law.
Picking four units to deploy. These are the ones I want on the firing line. The ones I’m willing to risk.
The remaining four go face down into the ammo deck.
Powerful units make tempting ammo, but that also means fewer options on the table.
Ah, this is tricky.
Now it’s about placement.
One of my guys goes on the street. Two take positions in the building. One heads up to the roof. Folks in the building gets some cover.
My friend exposes his deployed cards, and so do I.
Next, ammo gets distributed to each of them.
Things are about to break!
Time to pick an attacker. Dan “O” Mite it is. His special ability to also hit an adjacent enemy is just too good.
For the target, I’ll go after the Doc. This guy can heal his folks, and that feels like a problem best dealt with early.
Time for the reveal. Just enough!
The shot lands. Bam bam bam.
Needed a minimum ammo of 4 to attack, got 5!
Thanks to Dan “O” Mite, the Retired Lawman also takes a hit. My guy can hit adjacent enemies when he gets an ammo of 5.
OR does he? Well, in this case just the Doc gets hit, since they are protected by the building cover, so I have to reduce my ammo by 1, making it 4 instead of 5. Ah, well...
Blessing in disguise, though. Since the Retired Lawman is more dangerous when injured!
Used ammo goes into the ammo deck.
Good start, but I’m expecting a fiery response from the Law.
Which gets me thinking...
Should I have deployed different cards?
Should I have targeted someone else?
Did I place my folks in the right locations?
Is an onslaught coming next?
All these thoughts from just my first half of an attack.
Next round, everything could look completely different.
PS: Quickdraw is live on Kickstarter as I write this, and it’s already firing on all cylinders. Read my blog to know all about it.
